ORIENT ICE YACHT CLUB    

"The Orient Ice Boat Club was founded in the early 1990's by numerous ice boat enthusiasts in the area.  Hallocks Bay can freeze over during cold spells and if it does it brings us some of the best local ice that you could hope for.  The club has built a fleet of J-14s and other boats and annually join with the LRIBYC in their activities. Although the club is relatively new, the venue of Orient Harbor and Hallock's Bay has a rich history."
